Real Time "Birds Eye View" to tablet/iPad?

Possible anyone has looked into using a 360 cam to create a standalone ~real time Birds Eye view or simliar functionality on a vehicle like a SXS/UTV ? Ideally on a tablet or iPad.

What would it take to get that type of functionality in a standalone package displayed on a existing mobile device?

Highest value over entire life Mag Lock battery to select?

Interested in a second maglock iPhone mini battery for camping, since I cannot easily get a 2nd identical apple maglock battery that is compatible.

Which item is the most popular for entire life of the product?

And specific features that I should look for? Like a built in wired port to avoid induction losses when advantageous over pure convenience?

What makes a good maglock pack?

Known good Chemical Vulcanizing Cement to select?

Can I get almost any Chemical Vulcanizing Cement in a brush on container, and it work well?

Or is there a specific "High Value" brand to select that people feel works better and adheres more aggressively than generic ~8.5oz options for ~$10USD via amazon?

We have many bikes, lots of them service younger grandkids, we go through a considerable amount of patches even with decent tubes.

Would like to get a Vulcanizing Cement that works well.

Does that specific product "hold" for years well in the larger container, or will it be better to get the smaller sealed disposable tubes?

Thanks for any experienced guidance.👍

Which specific 4-Way Stretch material to select for multi axis blending?

Starting a project, essentially a hollow and oddly shaped storage box, and I need/hoping to blend off axis geometries together on several of the storage boxes panels. Planning to do each of the sides independently as discrete panels that combine into the finished box.

I would like to stretch a material that will conform smoothly to the existing points, make that material rigid with resin, and a basis for the part that will be constructed.

Can anyone tell me what specific material (also hoping for oz/yd^2 to hold position without drooping when applying resin) and specific resin I should select based on the above information and first hand experience?

Working in a DIY context for a 1 off part, so small quantities and cost effective options are ideal.

Have used this technique in the past on a smaller part, but the geometry was far more complex on it, so assume that technique will work on a "simpler" geometry despite being larger. But I just used any suitable materials that were at hand, if there is a "optimized" material that worked perfect for this application, would love to try something that works well.

Anyone that has done something simliar, found a good video tutorial that helps optimize that technique of stretching a flexible material over a void?

10 year old nephew, looking for ~$200 USD RC car that can run in grass back yard. Good candidates based on included details?

Have a nephew that is 10 years old, has used many RC cars before, has good control and is fairly conservative. Told him not to crash the 1:5 scale K8S EXB because it is “very expensive” to repair, and he kept it far away from any danger of collision, and followed instruction really well.

He has also independently repaired a little 1:24 scale losi micro rally, so able to build and repair.

He has used many different models from a RC tank to a DIY RC power wheel and seemed to be able to adapt fairly well.

What models should we look for as a Bday gift for a 10 year olds first personal RC?

Many models are RTR now...which is fine, but would also like to consider a model he builds.

His mom wants a “quieter” model was the only feedback I could get. Beyond gear noise, not sure I can make it any quieter than electric…

We are in the PNW area, so moisture in the air and on the ground that the model will need to likely commonly cope would be high on the list. Water resistant/“proof” would be great!

Any good options to consider with the above details as a reference?

Explicitly want to try adhesive tape on skin to prevent blisters. Which product has the most robust adhesion to skin? Hoping for first hand user feedback.

We are casual riders, but when we do go on our ~ week long trips we ride most of the day, many miles, up to 100+ at times and carry a pretty good pace trail riding with far more experienced and frequent riders.

My brother gets blisters every time we get to go, many times on every digit of the palm and I personally finally got one on the side of my thumb.

Hoping to help him and have a solution for me if it ever becomes a problem again.

Anyone that uses a tape to protect against glove to skin friction that presumably causes blisters, what product is the most adept at retaining adhesion to skin, and also cope with and resist the forces that try to peel the tape from the skin?

Ideally a flexible tape that will stretch and conform.

Of the common recommendations of tape like products, which is the best fit to the attributes and needs requested?

Will consider alternatives, like the "risk racing palm protectors" from users that have tried many alternatives and feel tape is Not viable, but really feel we are using and have tried many different decent pieces of equipment that is correctly fitted. It's just the lack of conditioning we can/able to invest. In lieu of seat time and conditioning, looking for an easy to apply alternative solution.

Possible to explicitly get feedback on the different variations of tapes applied directly to the skin that will best fit the question, from people that have tried all the different kinds available and can compare and contrast them.

Are there brands and that have this specific detail of effortless egress resolved?

Wondering if there is a tent that has some sort of semi rigid door, possibly even fiberglass poles that insert into the fabric to create a semi rigid door.

Ideally would like it to have an advantageous geometry for it to automatically close using its own weight. But also able to be held open if desired.

Preferably on a suitable velcro, magnetic or simliar easy to use casual closure system when frequently in use. Only using the main robust water resistant closure system when closing for the night or long durations of inactivity.

Fundamentally want to get away from any mechanism that would foul the closure system like a rain flap getting into the zipper when using normally also.

Have casually talked about it for years when camping, and hoping to ask the question with the hope of finding any close alternatives, if they exist, to resolve what we perceive as very common annoyances of many tents.
